    Americans, your Social Credit system is on its way, which is the perfect tool for fascism to crush dissidents.

    I am truly sorry for you if you cannot mount effective resistance against this monstrosity.

    If they don’t comply, the Dems are going to SLAM and BLAST them with slightly strong language, but no swearing allowed and no actions.

      Of all the red lines we’ve crossed so far, this one almost feels like small beans. The standard has gotten very out of whack in a very short time.

      Palantir has more data on more people in the world likely than any other corporation, and Peter Thiel is trying to wield it to collapse global democracy, so yes

      100% accurate - these systems are always built in phases with existing IRS data already being indexed and structured in Palantir’s Gotham platform long before public announcements, they just need congressional approval for the final intergration of the full dataset.

    90s were such a fruitful time for art, really.

    Everything happening I’ve seen predicted in Star Wars EU, they are literally building the Empire the way it existed there (not this particular article, but the whole moment of history around us).

    But somehow I don’t feel too happy about owning trekkies.
